Modern Harmonic reissuing Sun Ra's 1979 album Omniverse

The Record Store Day (11/26) release of Omniverse will be on purple wax with the CD version containing bonus tracks. 

Here's the scoop...

Recorded in New York in 1979 and released that year on Sun Ra's El Saturn label, this is a solid, overlooked set in the vast Ra canon. The tracks aren't so much compositions as excursions, pure jazz, lots of reflective piano in trio, quartet, and sextet settings. Features cover art interpreted from a favorite Arkestra hand drawn cover, and liner notes from Irwin Chusid. CD version includes 12 minutes of bonus euphony!
